I've never actually seen Brown Willy - Edward Thomas mentions it in his book The South Country "Nothing can soften the lines of Trendreen or Brown Willy or Carn Galver against the sky. The small stone-hedged ploughland amidst brake and gorse do but accentuate the wildness of the land from which they have been won." Is it somewhere walkers have access to as with Blencathra and if so, Rights of Way will continue surely. The idea of anyone buying a mountain or hill just seems so perverse, however much money they paid. At best they can only be custodians.
